Sick day # 5

August 27, 2010
Caleb has had a fever now for 5 days. His little eyes are so bloodshot, and he is so congested. He called me "Bob" today, for mom. I do think we are on the mend though... he has attempted to eat several meals today. So far, Levi has not caught it, but he has sneezed several times today... we are praying he will come through unscathed. Even though Caleb feels so crummy, he still asks "What are we going to do tomorrow?" and wants to go to the park and the Library. Levi still won't take very good naps, but he did sleep in the bed with me from about 6:30 - 9:45 this morning! Maybe that is why... since he was in bed from 7:30 - 6am, then breakfast, and in bed for another 3 hours.... hmmm.... He had a bath today, which he needed, since he always smells like sour milk. He doesn't seem to mind the smell though. He can be so grumpy, crying even, but then I put him on the changing table and he just lights up with smiles and giggles. He loves to be there, weird. But it makes diaper changes a lot of fun. He does so good going to bed. I can feed him, swaddle him (which wakes him up), and go lay him in his bed and tell him night-night (After a kiss and a prayer), and he will go right to sleep. It is fabulous. They are both SO precious to me. I worked for 1.5 hours today, and I will get another 2 hours of work next week. I figured out how I might be able to work for about 2 hours (3-4 days per week) and keep us afloat financially until Joe gets a job or the apartments come through. So that is exciting. I am just going to wait until Sept 7-10 to see if I really have to or not, since she wants me to commit until about Dec if she gives me those kids. But it's great to know that God will provide either way; of course, we'd both like for it to be the apartments for Joe rather than work for me, but we'll take what we can get.
